"The elimination of all discrimination" summarized the first article of 'Agenda 2060' in the book Agenda 2060: The Future as It Happens by A.I.Fabler. A 'deplatformed' math professor, Jordan McPhee, struggled to find his purpose in a new world where the 'overthrow' had obliterated the old one. In an almost funny twist, the new world system had turned on its creators, and they sought people to correct the errors in the system. However, the greatest threat to 'Agenda 2060' was not a system error, but an anonymous individual called Artie Sharp. Artie ran the ArteFact channel with millions of views. He was the truth revealer bent on exposing every falsehood of the new state and truncating the real intentions of the propagators of 'Agenda 2060.'

One must admire the exciting breadth of the author's imagination as he creates a world set tens of years in the future. The author's passion for the subject matter can be deduced from his writing. It is also clear that the author has invested a lot of time in research, as can be seen from the logical progression of ideas and events in his book.

As intriguing as the book is, the author's language makes it challenging for the reader to follow the argument train. There are many scientific and mathematical jargons that, even with explanations, will give the average reader a pause and require a reread before the author's meaning is grasped. This does not make for a fun read, and many readers may be discouraged and not persist with reading the book till the end.

The idea of discrimination based on race or gender is deplorable. However, dealing with racism should not be by playing the blame game but by embracing the different identities and reveling in them because they make us unique. In the book, Professor Jordan encapsulates the consequence of playing the blame game while dealing with racism.

The author's book sounded almost like a forewarning of the consequences of thwarting laudable ideas to represent an ideology that would mete hardship on the people and become the very ill that it tried to erase. For instance, it was humorous how the minorities the state sought to empower to eradicate discrimination became the villains while the majority became the victims. The effect was that the advocates of equality ended up propagating discrimination.

This book demanded introspection into the motives of those who pursue a righteous agenda to 'save' the world. Whether the plan is directed at saving the world from climate change or discrimination, it must be free from the desire to control the outcome. A character said in the book, "What matters is who controls the narrative. If there's going to be a revolution, then it's in our best interest to start it." It is simple; the urge to save humanity can also be the urge to rule it. The desire, instead, should be to love humanity. I believe that was what the character of 'Artie' stood for in the book.

The author shows that we are inherently made human by the freedom to be kind and affectionate. No matter the advancement in scientific creations, artificial intelligence, and all whatnot, this attribute of 'emotion' is uniquely human. It ought to be preserved above all agenda, no matter how laudable.

Readers with a knack for scientific stories that are somewhat philosophical will enjoy this book. The editing is exceptional, and I only have a minor complaint, as stated above. All in all, I rate this book four out of four stars; a lower rating will be harsh.

This one seems a bit too complex. In this day and age, humanity fancies the simple and easy. Still, I hope the book has a take away. Such an in-depth review, That Reviewer!

Young people, guided by the review, I think that AfraBrb is in the right track... It's not the firs time I find an author predicting something like this... Please try English author Aldous Huxley, (1894 - 1963) "A Brave New World" and if you love the reviewed Agenda 2060, you will enjoy several stories of Huxley. In my opinion Agenda 2060 should be a very interesting story.

It's an interesting review, but it's not something I would be interested in reading
